Beautiful resort

I stayed at Somatheeram and enjoyed my stay. Rooms are very clean and the property is very well maintenant. The staff is friendly but not every one speaks English which is a pity. The restaurant is very basic, I prefer to go and eat at Manaltheeram, the other resort at the beach. Internetconnection is very poor.Treatments are good but to many people, so they rush and don't take time to give it properly. A lot of people get the same treatments which is a bit unusual.Yoga is very good. Nice place to go but Manaltheeram is much better.More

Ayurveda we have 30 treatment room, 80 therapist and 15 doctors. only very rear places in Kerala have this much big facility. Ayurveda treatments are combination treatments, even if it is same from outside view, it has many difference such as oils used, type of application, duration of treatment, combination etc. So every individual is getting personalized treatment for their cure. We assure you our best care and attention.

I am writing to all trip advisor readers while reclining on my bed next to a giant moth made out of the towels we use in the bathroom that is coated in rose petals. It is truly a sight to be hold. What can i say about Somatheeram other that you have to visit this place to see for yourself the beauty, the hospitality and taste the food from this wonderful area of the world. The staff go the distance to make sure you are happy and content, the Ayurveda food is mouthwatering and you simply just can't have one plate. It is deeeelish.!!!Yes when travelling overseas to countries like india there is problems with the power, internet but that is what makes it a trip away and so much fun. Sign up for some treatments and rest every day watching the surf, the sea eagles play and you must try the Saffron Tea on your own balcony, its heavenly. I have three days to go and its wonderful. Glenn.

Room Tip: " I have the Standard House room, its very lovely."

We stayed at somatheeram for a day only still the trip was just amazing..All thanks to the staff.Our booking was for soma resort deluxe room however the staff upgraded our room and got ourselves transferred to somatheeram which is of same management as informed to us.The place and view are too good. We had booked two rooms and we were given the rooms with best view.Further the food was also good.Staff is very much co operative and helful.Infact we were thinking of cancelling the next destination of ours which was kanyakumari and extend the stay there.We would recommend the place definately.A must visit place if trip involves stay at kovalam. Also the other beaches are nearby so the place again adds to the advantage of staying.

We booked the Deluxe Kerala House for Diwali holidays. We went only for a getaway with kids. Not for Ayurveda. Only suites and deluxe rooms have air conditioning. Rest of rooms have only fans. Greeted with garlands and tender coconut water. The reception staff were very friendly with our two kids. Rooms are basic kerala style. But sea view made up for it. My bad experience was with the swimming pool. Lots of restrictions here. Kids are shooed by the other guests. They were reading by poolside. We were constantly told to control them from making any kind of noise. We felt even our normal conversation was constantly interrupted. Quite a dampener. The Chowara beach is awesome. They arrange a taxi to take you there. Complementary dinner was fully kerala style vegetarian. But delicious. Ordered few non veg starters separately from the menu which were tasty. They had arranged classical dance program along with diwali crackers. Breakfast was also good. Next day, kids were quite bored. Few Persian cats and a Vechur cow were there. Apart from that kids were not engaged. All the staff are efficient and friendly. Thats commendable. Go for ayurveda treatment. But dont take your kids. Slightly pricey for the experience.

Room Tip: Only Kerala House Deluxe and Kerala Deluxe Suite are air conditioned. Opt for sea view rooms. Other cottages and rooms look cramped.

Somatheeram Ayurveda Beach Resort is an excellent resort, for Ayurveda treatments in a great environment. I stayed there for 14 days (July 8th to July 22nd) and did the Ayurveda treatment, and it was a great experience. The treatment was done by a good team and managed by professionals. I divided my stay in 2 cottages, and must say both were good. The second one in particular which was sea-facing. Great view, serene environment and a great staff to take care of you. I feel, without the treatment also, it's an excellent resort for a weekend trip too. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a wellness holiday.

We just left Somatheeram Resorts after 15 days of cuddles from our first day. This is not a classic resort where to spend holiday with friends or family with loudly music, sports, animation and anything to eat and drink: people must know before going what they're looking for. In fact we were searching a quiet place inside nature, without noise, tv ect, a location where to forget our stressed life, at least for some days, and we got it. The resort have nice and clean accommodations, most of them individual (cottage or typical house) and all around are medical plants and lots of trees and flowers of any colors, as a paradise; the landscape is on the sea and the only music is the hight sound of waves and the church's songs on Sunday morning. It's not possible to swim in the sea because of strong currents, but the resort has a nice private beach reached by a shortly walk by stairs, possible even for lazy persons as we are. There are stairs to go everywhere in the resort (restaurant, swimming pool, reception, shops and Ayurvedic center) and this is good to do some personal gym. The restaurant offer a big choose of vegetables or Ayurvedic menu, don't missing fresh fish, but particularly for people caring about their health, so no fat and fried food or packaged and surgery products: anything is truly natural and fresh and the taste is great. It's incredible to discover that even people working there are genuine too as anything around, they care about you as person, always with a true smile without pretending anything in change and a nice way to do and answer, until the last second we where there. Generally last days in others resorts and country, the staff don't care anymore, but here in Somatheeram we left with the smile and missing anyone, from the waiters, the chef, the management of restaurants and anyone of reception until the guy who deliver newspaper...anyone and this time it's correct to thank them. About the primary reason we come here, we mean the Ayurveda treatments, we can confirm that doctors are hight qualified and they listen you watching you in the eyes, they visit you and they propose what is better for anyone. In our country we used to have in front doctors that they don't even stand up the head when we speak and most of the time we pay them so much without to have solutions. Here they don't promise us miracles about what we expect, but they give us good suggestion, diet and treatment, so we can say we're satisfied about it. The Ayurvedic center is clean, with particular rooms treatment with wall in red dark bricks and hight ceiling in coco leafs, the atmosphere keep you relaxing; the therapists are women for female customers and men for male, they studied years and anyone know really well the technique of massages, their hands are magic, but about our experience some massage with some therapists and assistant were quickly and short way, dedicating more time to face massage and relax than what suggest from Doctor, anyway we're speaking about few cases of someone maybe tired or misunderstanding people come from really far, and maybe they do economic sacrifices, to get the treatments and help they can do. We want to underwritten that anyway 2 of the therapists follow us they were perfect and they follow us most of the time helping to resolve any problems, and a thank to them and doctors too. The resort is organize for session of meditation and yoga and the 2 guy we met were hight professional, just we were so curious to visit a bit outside that we choose not follow lessons. The reception organize for us even some excursion with taxi and price was almost the same than agency outside or private. We choose to try even local way of transport as "tuk tuk" and bus. Not so far and interesting to visit 1) kovallam for shopping and beach walk 2) thiruvananthapuram the main city with his temple, museum, park and monuments 3) Kania Kumari the end point of India 4) backwater and elephants rehabilitation center and then walking in security and freedom in some village you can full your eyes of colors and perfume of this wonderful part of India : Kerala. Last suggest: inside and outside of resort there are nice shops where anyone can get satisfaction and if you desire your personal and self designed dress you can get it just in 2 days from the many men they didn't loose the handmade art. Beautiful experience: Somatheram Ayurveda resort with his secret garden is a place to remember and to come back.
